Heaven's Mood Ring

The sun says goodbye
as it dips slowly below the horizon,
and dusk settles in for the night.

Heaven's mood ring
changes constantly,
from pink to orange
then to a faded yellow.

My mood lightening, the sky darkening.

Shades of lavender to dark blue,
then to a faded black.

As twilight takes over the sky,
my favorite time approaches
when my eyes can fill with wonder,
as one by one,
the stars turn on their lights
and twinkle just to say hello.
They've all seen my face before.

Then the moon, my old friend,
rises to meet me right on time.

Heaven's mood ring
fades to black,
only until the dawn
when it will change again.

The sky lightening, my mood darkening.

Hello Kelly, WOW! I like how you compare the night and day, with a mood ring. My favorite mood, is the horizon in the sky. Anyway, that's life for you in a pickle jar, it fades and changes before my eyes, sometimes the same way everyday. I'm in wonder with. A feeling so deserving when it comes to life. ...PS.. by the way, I want that lightening mood ring too...... JK.... awesomw write... very clever... xox~ Linda

A lightening mood ring would be good! Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful things, too. I just love the moon and the stars during the nighttime, I guess that's why it is my favorite time of the day...Thank you for stopping by with such kind words, Linda! I'm happy that you liked this poem. :)
